21st Space Assault Battalion: Difference between revisions

Don't add something if it's not cited. Also, there's a lot of grammar and spelling errors in this.
(I just updated what happened on the operation and how the PDSTs contributed to the operation. Did not cite, will do later.)

The space battle over Biko lasted for five days, and during that time, Task Force Yama attempted to deliver members of the Black Daggers to at least one vessel of the Covenant fleet. When a detachment of Black Daggers attempted to board the ''[[Purifying Flame]]'', they were captured before they could destroy the warship. [[Mind melter]]s were ordered to interrogate the ODSTs, though they saw little success. Their extreme resistance to interrogation lead to them being handed over to [[Castor|two]] [[Orsun|particular]] [[Jiralhanae]] to get information out of them their way. The Jiralhanae played a "game" they called "[[tossers]]" with the ODSTs; this involved tearing the limbs off of some of the captives in such a way that it would not kill them immediately, requiring their companions to help them eat, drink, and eliminate. However, before they ran out of prisoners, all the Jiralhanae could get out of them was the names of the twelve Spartans attached to their battle group, the name of the battle group, as well as the name of the battalion in which the ODSTs serve.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS21|HSS|Chapter=21}}

===Battle Of Zhoist===
===Zhoist===
After a private meeting with Catherine Halsey, Colonel Cawthorne along with Sgt. Johnson would be on the deck of the Starry Night, watching Nyeta, as the operation began. Ghost Flight, Nyeta’s personal Prowler flight would first take out three Liberation Posts located on the dark side of Zhoist, while Green Team, Blue team and multiple platoons of the 21st would stage an EV attack on the circular resupply station orbiting the planet. While this was happening, Colonel Crowther, Sgt. Johnson and a platoon of ODST’s would take over Nyeto ship, only for the entire ship to mutiny in favor of Nyeto, Vaccing the entire Crew of ODSTs and Johnson into space while killing Colonel Crowther.

The ODSTs not on Nyeto Flight would, along with the help of the Spartan-2’s would destroy the three liberation points, and would insert on the planet in order to ride the Gravity lifts up into the Supply Ring. 4 Prowlers with all Spartans and multiple platoons of the 21st would make their way to the planet, with the Widow Maker and the Starry Night being turned away, and another prowler destroyed on the way down. Blue team and a detachment of ODST’s would fight their way up the Grav Lift, taking Heavy Casulties. By the time they reached the ring only 6 members remained of the original 31 ODSTs in the platoon. After destroying multiple sections of the ring, The ODSTs would eventually be overrun and killed in a sacrificial blast to destroy the ring.
 
The ODST’s attached to Gold Team also suffered heavy casualties, with 4 survivors out an original detachment of 26. The ODST’s originally Vacced would eventually be recovered after the Operation, after Hectar Nyeto and his flight of prowlers had fled the battle. The ODST’s who had died in battle would  end up destroying even more personnel and ships, via a 60 minute timed delay equipped to every single explosive on the ODST’s.
